I use rice for 90% of my bento, but today's bento is bread!!
Just cut out slices of bread with cookie cutters and place them on beautiful color veges.
(Cookie cutters are from Daiso)
I used a bear shape one to make a frog.

What you need:

4 slices of bread

Tuna Salad (or filling of your choice)

Lettus

Zucchini (for bunny backdrop)

Tomato (for heart backdrop)

Cheddar Cheese (for star backdrop)

Basil (for frog backdrop)

A piece of nori seaweed

Slice off edges of 4 slices of bread . For 2 top slices cut out with cookie cutters as shown. (I used a bear shape cookie cutter to create a frog. Available at Daiso )

Place 2 bottom slices in a bento box and add filling. (I used tuna salad)

Place vegetables and cheese in locations shown for character backdrop coloring.

Add cut-out top slices.

Use a thin strip of zucchini and cookie cutter to create hands for bunny.

Got beautiful rainbow chard at farmers market and inspired to make unicorn bento.
I've seen cute unicorn cakes on Pinterest and had been thinking about making unicorn theme something.

Just cut off stems and pickle with similar color ones for about one hour.
Then just thinly slice and use it for unicorn mane.

For the purple flowers that I put on the unicorn's head, I boiled purple cabbage with water and place sliced radishes in it to color it into purple. The cabbage water is blue, but if you marinade about over one hour, the pink color of radish starts blending in blue water and create nice purple color.
